Desenvolvimento de um software para armazenamento de fichas de RPG de mesa

Abstract

With the growing popularity of tabletop RPGs over the past decade - used not only as a hobby but also in educational and academic contexts - online platforms such as Roll20 and FoundryVTT have emerged, enabling remote interaction among players. As a result, the availability of efficient tools to support RPG players has become increasingly important. Although such platforms exist, many present barriers that hinder the user experience, such as the lack of mobile-specific interfaces, paid access requirements, or reliance on other users to view one's own information. This work aims to develop a free software application focused on mobile-first technology, enabling the easy and autonomous storage and access of RPG data and character sheets, using HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and MySQL as core technologies. To define the necessary software requirements, a survey was conducted via Google Forms. A second survey was carried out to gather user feedback on the software's performance. The results indicated acceptable functionality, with suggestions for improvements, particularly in calculations and data creation, to guide future developments.
